    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if I could explain, 10 per cent will go to the local community. This means the area where the oil wells have been sunk. They will get 10 per cent of the revenue. So, we are talking about Lokichar in Turkana County. The constituency in which Lokichar is based will get 10 per cent of the revenue. Turkana County will get 20 per cent of the revenue and the national Government 70 per cent. That 70 per cent will not go to general revenue of the Government. It will be deposited into a petroleum account in the National Treasury and it will be used for specific purposes. For example, we could say it is for supporting education, infrastructure or health. So, it is a very good management system that is being introduced here by this Bill. I request all the Members of this House to give this Bill 100 per cent support. I am sorry that I cannot speak a little more about this subject that I am so passionate about. I believe there will be other opportunities to contribute. With those few remarks, I beg to second this Bill."
